Application filed July 1, 1911, Serial No. 638,480. Renewed Octoher 3,1912.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that- L FREDERICK Bonsssn, asubject of the King of Great Britain, and residing at Perth, WesternAustralia, Commonwealth of Australia, have invented oer tain new anduseful Improvements in Tun bins-\Vashers for Drinking-Glasses and otherVessels, of which the following a specification.

The object of my invention is to provide a semiautomatic device forcleansing drinking glasses and other such like vessels in a runningstream of water and in which such cleansing is simultaneously effectedboth on the outsideand inside surfaces of the glass with the result thatthe glass receives a ositive and complete cleansing.

The device gives a turbine action so that the glass is spun or rotatedduring and by the washing process as the water jets are made to impingeor strike against the inner and outer surfaces in an oblique direction.

The glass is held in an inverted position on its frame and as soon asthe water pressure is applied by the operator theglass is thereb .niadeto spin around and thus be washe The construction and use of my turbineglass washer will be explained by the aid of the attached drawin showingby a sectional elevation the device as in its installed position on thecounter as x. I

In said drawing a are the fixednpstanding tubes of any number havingperforations 17 to eiiect the external spray action as denoted by thearrows. These jets or sprays b impinge or strike downward and side'wiseat an oblique angle upon the outside of the glass 0. p I

The glass is held in an inverted (position on the skeleton spinningframe which idly rotates upon the central fixed tube e. c with the crownc upon which rests the glass and said frame hangs and rotates upon thecenter pivot e which is screwed into the top of 'thetube e as shown.This frame has a lower guide e to hold it in posit-ion and against theflange e secured on the tube e so as to prevent it from rising up n Thecentral tube 6 is also Specification of Letters Patent,

spray is also employed as g for washing the down or to jet as g forwashing the outer bottom sur ace of the inverted glass The washingaction takes place in the well h having the tray it upon which thewashed glasses are drained as-shown and. a waste water pipe j isprovided to relieve the well of accumulated water, The well is iroridedwith the hinged dome or cover it which when closed down durin thewashing process revents any splashing trouble. The water is fed to thejets by the down press rod 5 which operates the pivoted lever m and inturn opens the spring valve 1. This lever is provided with the auxiliaryspring n for valve the quicker to close. by the pipe jijiaving theregulator cock As before stated the jets b and f strike t e glass bothinternally and externally and at such an angle as to cause the invertedglass to rapidly rotate on the pivoted hanging frame (5 with the resultpermit the spring The water is is cleansing whereupon it is removed andthen placed upon the drainer h and at the same time the press rod 1 isreleased so allowing the valve to close and to shut oi -I the feed waterthrough pipe p.

What I claim as my invention and desire to secure by Letters Patent is 2i A turbine washer for drinking glasses comprising an uprightpipe havingporters tions therein a spinning frame supported on the pipe to hold aglass in inverted position,

fixed pipes disposed at opposite distance from the frame and iaving in-Wardly projecting angular terminals and also including an n wardlyprojecting member having an out et terminal arrange to throw a spray onthe bottom of the the said fixed pipes;

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set N. W. BURKE.
